“Every connection is an opportunity to learn, contribute, and create meaningful impact together.”

Sally Zaatari, VP of Outreach

My professional journey began in education. I have more than 18 years of teaching experience and currently teach at International College in Beirut. I hold a Master of Education in Educational Management and Leadership from the Lebanese American University.

Alongside my work in education, I have been actively involved in volunteer leadership and community initiatives, working with NGOs and collaborating with community partners on projects that address local needs.

My involvement in these initiatives strengthened my interest in project management. I sought to build on this practical experience by developing the knowledge and skills to plan, coordinate, and deliver projects effectively. This motivation led me to complete a Postgraduate Diploma in Project Management at the American University of Beirut and earn my Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification.

My studies introduced me to PMI and deepened my connection with the project management community. I am grateful to serve on the Board of PMI Lebanon Chapter as Vice President of Outreach. In this role, I bring together my experience in education, volunteer leadership, and project management, with a focus on building relationships grounded in trust and shared purpose.

I look forward to strengthening connections with professionals, organizations, educational institutions, and community partners. Through partnerships, learning opportunities, and events, we can create spaces where members exchange perspectives, share expertise, and find new ways to contribute.

I invite you to connect with us! Share an idea, introduce a potential partner, contribute your experience, or join an upcoming activity. Whether you are an experienced project professional or just beginning your journey, your perspective can enrich our community.

I look forward to serving alongside the PMI Lebanon Chapter Board and its members, building connections that support shared learning and meaningful impact.

Thank you.
